WHITE PAPER (cont.) A NEW W ORLD OF COMPUTING The new computing environment currently emerging is one in which all information is online and people can securely access information, communicate, and conduct electronic commerce from any place at any time. This new computing environment will radically affect the technology of the engineering development process, affecting the way engineers, designers, customers, suppliers, manufacturing, analysts and managers communicate and work on a design. This new computing environment is referred to as Collaborative Product Commerce. These customer and supplier relationships, established electronically, will enable a new framework for competitive advantage. While enormously powerful, the complexity and scale of this change and its implementation can be overwhelming for engineering departments and large enterprises alike. So IT managers and engineering managers need an information technology (IT) partner that can efficiently deliver simple and useful computing solutions that truly empower them in the Internet world. Compaq has everything it needs to be that partner-and the best computing company in the world.
